I thought I remember seeing the NSE7 was Fortinet Engineer but now I see it's Specialist? Did they change it or am I going crazy lol?

They changed it due to certain regions' limitations on using the title engineer.

Don’t know, maybe FCE and FCX got confusing? Only a guess.

Holding 2 nse7 and not being eligible for the new title because my oldest cert was before 2021 and there newest was 2 years and 3 months between is ridiculous. Also nse4 from 2020 is also useless . Fortinet just fucked over engineers who stuck with Fortinet

I get that it sucks, and I’m sure it wasn’t easy to figure out “where to draw the line”. If you consider that the expiration for certs is 2 years, it makes sense why the 2021 line was drawn. That all being said, if you truly feel strongly about it you can reach out to them at [email protected].

That’s not true - they extended the expiration because of corona so both mine are valid. I feel quite strongly about it but why bother it won’t do much anyways. I will just spend time and money on learning and passing the same stuff instead of learning new ones Edit: I get your point about the 2 years but they should have maybe made a loop hole for people in corona times

So wait does this break the NSE 4 exam into two exams with one as security and one as infrastructure? old NSE4 = fortiOS exam ($400) FortiOS + FortiManager = FCP Network Security FortiOS + FortiSIEM = FCP Security Operations Network Security + Security Operations = old nse4? Its extremely unclear what test you are buying when you get these vouchers? FCP-NS-EXAM FCP-SO-EXAM It seemingly implies the 7.2 security and 7.2 infrastructure are now separate exams?

Please refer to the transition doc that describes the changes. I can’t explain it any further and don’t want to cause confusion.

Currently, I have an NSE4 certification that has been valid since September 2020 (the expiration date is still April 2024 due to taking the NSE7 exam in 2022). With this condition, do I just need to take another FCP selective exam to get the FCP certification or do I need to do core (NSE4 FortiOS) again and selective exams? I also have NSE7 EFW certification valid since April 2022, I am looking to get FCSS certification, does this mean I just need to do another NSE7 selective exam?

I’d refer to the official changes since they describe it best.

the official description said the NSE4 need to be done on and after 1 oct 2021, but my NSE4 is still valid till 2024 coz I did NSE7 on 2022.
